Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Easter Bunny Cupcakes are made with white cake mix, a sweet buttercream frosting, sprinkles and an adorable milk chocolate bunny on top.

I know it sounds crazy but Easter is less than a month away! Time to get the kids their Easter outfits, make some brunch plans and enjoy some Easter inspired desserts like these cute cupcakes. They really are the perfect addition to an Easter tablescape or family gathering.

Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Easter Bunny Cupcakes start with a box of white cake mix! So easy- just add some milk, butter and eggs to the mix to create a delicious, moist cupcake that tastes like it came from a bakery. The buttercream frosting is a butter/vegetable shortening blend to form a stable, pipable frosting so the “grass” has a lot of dimension and holds up.

Tips & Tricks

All About That Buttercream!

A pipable buttercream is very important to make perfect “grass”. The frosting should be stiff but not so much that it hurts your wrist to decorate with. I like to use the combination of butter and vegetable shortening to create that stiffness. Add the vanilla extract and then the confectioners sugar in increments until everything is combined. You should be left with a very thick frosting that will be needed thinning out. 1 teaspoon of water beat into the frosting should do this.
